Question

Match the given polynomials with their corresponding degree.

• A. 4
• B. 1
• C. 0.0
• D. 3

Answer 1

In a polynomial(in one variable), the greatest index of the variable is the degree of the polynomial.
Hence, the degree of
1) $-3x-x^4+2[\text{which is},-x^4-3x+2]$ is 4.
2) $0x^2+x[\text{which is},x]$ is 1.
3) $14[\text{which is},14x^0]$ is 0.
4) $x+x^2+x^3+4[\text{which is},x^3+x^2+x+4]$ is 3.
